HeartsandonlyHearts Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Gunn starting will make it even easier for me to complain even more than I do already. Gunn is $#!te. In Clarke we trust.
Barney bulge Posted June 2 Posted June 2 I hope Scotland lose every game due to a cheating VAR call/ Refereeing incompetence/ bias/ corruption/ shite angle review. Hanley scores an OG and Gunn chucks them in
Spellczech Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Gunn is bang average. Looks like Clarke is on rinse and repeat - same old mistakes...

HeartsCobra Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Just give Gordon the number one shirt you contrarian old fud!
Heres Rixxy Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Nothing to be read into those numbers. They generally all keep the same number camp after camp.

Shows loyalty to his favourite, Hanley 5 Tierney 6 Dykes 9 Adams 10 But Gordon 21 , then again Angus Gunn auld man and Clarke go way back . noticed over the last few years the national team are treading squad numbers like a club team, someone like Adam’s misses a camp someone else’s takes 10, next international break Adam’s has 10 again.
Bob Loblaw Posted June 2 Posted June 2 People need to take the Hearts tinted specs off. Gordon is 43, barely played the last year and has had significant spells out with injury this season. I'd love him to get the nod and I doubt he'd let us down, but it's hardly some conspiracy if a guy 13 years younger plays. The goalie situation is a mess whichever way you turn. Plenty on here were writing Gordon off on a regular basis when he was actually playing for us in his last season as no.1.

And Gordon done more than enough in the qualifying campaign and when available for us did a job too. We could’ve looked back at a title winning season thanks to two points he saved against Dundee. But I get your point. My issue is you can lay a few blame for goals at Gunn’s feet at the last Euros so I’m not sure going with him is the best thing.

We kept 2 clean sheets and won 3. I'm not a massive fan by any stretch, but whoever gets the nod is going to be a worry. Gunn has by and large been alright for Scotland, but yes he definitely was weak for one or two against Germany.

For avoidance of doubt I want Gordon to start because I think he deserves it at a WC but also because he’s as good as any option we have and better than Kelly. But I won’t be losing it if Gunn is picked. Just hope he doesn’t do anything calamitous. Like when Ralston was picked when no one wanted him there and his mistake lead to a crucial goal at the Euros.

I also want Gordon picked but if he's not it's hardly odd that a guy his age, who we have no idea if he's still as sharp after a year out, doesn't get picked. As I said earlier, he had plenty critics on here the season before the one just past. A year on with effectively no football and injuries and it's seen as some kind of scandal if he doesn't play.
Malinga the Swinga Posted June 2 Posted June 2 (edited) If Gunn plays, that removes the last piece from me getting behind Haiti, Morocco and Brazil. A dinosaur of a coach, a squad made up of his favourites plus a couple of youngsters from his old club and a friend's son combined with Shankland's snake like behaviour provides further reason to give this lot the cold shoulder. If Scotland win, meh as we will get pumped eventually. If they lose, hopefully by a penalty awarded when it shouldn't be, then I'll be able to sit back and laugh at another 4 years of piss being forced down Scotland's throat For those who don't believe Gordon justifies place and that Gunn is answer, I'll give you the performance against Germany where Gunn looked like a rabbit in headlights, albeit a rabbit with chocolate brittle wrists. If he takes Gordon to another tournament and leaves him on bench, that's a humiliating end to a fantastic career and Gordy deserves to be treated with far more respect than that. Left on bench for Marshall because of 1 penalty save, left out of squad altogether because manager didn't like being pressured by everyone in next tournament and in both, keepers were shit when it mattered. You'd think he'd learn his lesson but that doesn't look likely. Edited June 2 by Malinga the Swinga

vegas-voss Posted June 2 Posted June 2 (edited) Ok I will play fair.Clarke probably can't win as if it goes wrong he will probably be crucified for playing a 43yr old or he will get crucified cause Gunn has previously shit it in a tournaments and does it again.So lets hope whoever plays against Haiti either has a cracking game or has has hardly anything to do. Edited June 2 by vegas-voss
Bob Loblaw Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Clarke got the Gordon situation horribly wrong for the last two Euros. He was the better choice than Marshall who he remained loyal to because of qualification and he was both a better choice than Gunn and not taking him at all was awful. I also hope Gordon gets the nod, I just don't think sentimentality really comes into it for such a crucial role at a WC. They'll train and play another game each most likely as we have a closed doors friendly too. If Gunn is deemed to look sharper at that point I think it's fair enough. There's not much point getting bent out of shape about squad numbers though as ultimately it means nothing.

With Gunn playing, what could possibly go wrong. Any shot from anywhere will cause panic with the English Pereira in goals.

RoiK Posted June 2 Posted June 2 The inadequacies of Ralston and Gunn were horribly exposed at Euro 2024. It beggars belief that this combo are still in contention for international caps, never mind going to the WC. It’s not as if either has been shining in their respective domestic leagues this past season and so have justified their selection based on merit. Both have been bit-part players in 2025/26.

Doc Rob Posted June 2 Posted June 2 (edited) I reckon Gordon will start. Neither has been playing regularly. Clarke’s major fault is too much loyalty to the players who did the business for him before. That’s why Marshall got the nod for Euro 2020 and it’s why I think Gordon will get the nod this time.

I think being given the number 1 jersey for the World Cup would have been a respectful nod to what Craig has done for Scotland over the years in striving to get Scotland to this stage.
Henroddy Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Look at 1 - 11. That will NOT be starting 11. For all the CG fans out there it's still all good. 👍

Mirror Posted June 3 Posted June 3 Let's not kid ourselves, look at what Clarke did at the last 2 tournaments. Gunn will play all 3 matches probably with Soutar and Hanley in defence. There will be no explanation needed when we finish bottom of the group
DxB Hearts Posted June 3 Posted June 3 A kid who has played about 20 mins of adult football being scotlands 8 at a fricking World Cup is madness. Utter madness. Hopefully it’s not something we need to read into because Kelly was given the 12 shirt and there’s no way Gordon is 3rd choice so it may be nothing.

DS98 Posted June 3 Posted June 3 He chose mediocre Marshall over Gordon at the Covid Euros. That was when CG was arguably at the top of his game. Was outstanding in the championship season then went on to win POTY next again year. So can easily see him get screwed over again. Clarke is a wallpaper. As others have said that would remove the annoyance of being torn between wanting Craig to do well and wanting Scotland completely annihilated in each game. 🇭🇹 🇲🇦 🇧🇷
